摘要

The constant evolution in the agricultural background is mostly concentrated on feeding growing populations, providing better quality food and tracking its origins, and most importantly reducing fraud. The key features of Blockchain technology include accountability, security, and productivity which play a vital role in this field, this gives a lot of potential, particularly with regards to crop insurance, an important sector that protects farmers from financial losses. More traditional crop insurance has higher administrative expenses, slower payouts, less transparency, and a lack of trust from farmers. Blockchain technology puts forward the ability to transform this industry. The transparency it offers increases the trust between stakeholders and reduces fraud. Smart contracts can help streamline the crop insurance process. The ability of these self-executing contracts helps the claims to be automatically triggered for assessments and payouts according to predetermined, verifiable conditions that are stored on the blockchain. This study is about the negative aspects of using traditional crop insurance and analyzes the likely benefits and bounds of integrating blockchain and smart contracts. We aim to put forward a blockchain-based crop insurance framework that will address the various issues in this sector. Expected findings include an in-depth analysis of the upsides and possible downsides of incorporating smart contracts and blockchain technology into crop insurance.
